Photo of a doorway in an indoor hall, where a smiling man in saffron robes and an orange turban stands in the centre with palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a long rudraksha mala and orange garment. Beside and behind him, men in white shirts and white dhotis, some with orange shawls and rudraksha malas, walk and look on. Wall decorations with cut-out borders are visible on the left. Appearance-based label: the saffron-robed figure in the centre is a Swamiji (probable), based on the saffron robe, orange turban and rudraksha mala, though the identification is uncertain from appearance alone.

A photograph of a crowded indoor corridor with white walls and a framed picture with flower garlands at upper left. In the centre, a bearded sadhu in orange robes and an orange turban with rudraksha malas talks animatedly. To the right, a man in an ornate red-brown robe with gold trim, a turban and layered gold beaded necklaces smiles broadly. Beside him stands a man in white dhoti with a brown shawl and gold chains. At left, a bald older man in orange robes and a woman in a teal patterned top look on. Several other people are visible in the background.

A photograph of a group walking through a bright white-walled hall with a corrugated roof. In the centre, a smiling man with long dark wavy hair wears a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead. Beside him on the left, a bearded man in an orange robe with an orange turban and a silver chain walks alongside. On the right, a bare-chested man in an orange cloth with yellow edging and a beaded mala walks and looks ahead. Behind them, more saffron-clad sannyasis and white-clad men follow through the open doorway, and a few men in white shirts and dhotis stand in the background.

A photograph in a plain room with pale walls and a beige sofa covered in a light cloth. A woman in an orange wrap with gold-toned waist band and a small gold necklace, hair in a low bun, leans forward with palms pressed together in greeting toward a man in an orange turban, orange robe and white shawl with dark stripes, who smiles and holds a yellow printed booklet. Beside him stands a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe wearing a coral-and-black bead mala. At the right edge a bearded man in orange holds a wooden staff. Red flowers lie at the lower left on the floor.

A photograph of a small room with cream walls and a garland of marigolds and orange flowers strung along the ceiling edge. Several saffron-clad sannyasis stand conversing. On the left, a man in an orange robe and orange turban faces right, while behind him a bald man in white stands near an ornate gilded chair. In the centre, a figure in an orange robe with a marigold garland gestures while speaking to a man in an orange robe wearing a rudraksha-style necklace and a marigold garland.

A photograph of a ceremonial moment indoors in front of a projection screen. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with long dark hair, wears a long white and red flower garland and gold bangles, and gestures with his right hand as he speaks. Beside him an elderly bearded man with a white horizontal tilak on his forehead, wearing orange robes and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, holds his hands together in front of him. To the left, a man in a white shirt and a younger man in an orange cloth stand by, and at right a man with a red tilak and orange-and-yellow cloth observes. A boy in a red cloth stands in the background. Swamiji candidate in the central figure: probable, based on the long hair, orange turban, saffron robes and garland cues.

A photograph of a seated group of saffron-clad sannyasis on a stage with a red curtain and white drape behind them. On the right, a man in an orange turban and orange robe with a long rudraksha mala sits smiling, appearing to be a probable Swamiji candidate by his turban, long swept-back hair and rudraksha cues. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes with white forehead markings speaks into a microphone, and a seated man in a red-and-orange kurta wearing spectacles sits in the middle row with a man in white beside him. Chrome-framed chairs with red cushions line the stage.

A tall man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban stands centre, wearing a long rudraksha mala and smiling, with long dark hair falling behind him. Several men in white dhotis and shirts sit or stand around him, one at left holding a small booklet, one seated at right with hands together. Beside them a man in orange robes looks at a phone. On the far right a shaved-headed sannyasi with vibhuti on his forehead sits in orange drapery with one hand raised.

A photograph inside a plain hall with pale blue walls, ceiling fans and tube lights, with blue draped cloth and yellow garlands along the walls. In the foreground a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks across a red carpet; a person appearance with long swept-back hair and saffron robes, identity uncertain from appearance. Beside him a younger man in an orange robe and long hair carries a small red-covered book. Along both sides of the hall, men in white dhotis and shirts with rudraksha malas stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and a mat-covered floor is visible on the right.
